IDF apologizes for botched strike
By JPOST.COM STAFF


The IDF issued an apology to the Lebanese army on Monday after killing one of its officers and two of its soldiers in an airstrike, stressing that the soldiers were not the target of the attack.

After declaring a 48-hour suspension of aerial strikes over Lebanon in wake of the Kana attack, the IAF fired missiles at a car suspected to have been carrying a senior Hizbullah official.

The target of the attack, the IDF said, was apparently not in the car, as it drove near the coastal city of Tyre.

The official, whose name the IDF refused to divulge, was, the military said, involved in direct terror attacks against Israel and posed an imminent threat.

Israel stressed that the temporary cessation of airstrikes for 48 hours, which begun at 2 a.m., did not apply to imminent threats.

Is this the same story as the mention of boming a general?

Then it's old news already. CNN trying to stir things up with the implication that it just happened?

so the IAF is now targeting Lebanese military hierarchy, that should do wonders for keeping this conflict "limited"

It serves as a stark warning for the Lebanese military to stay away from the battle...and clarifies that the Israelis will give no quarter to the aggressor that caused it.

Indeed. Siniora played his cards and gave his chips to Nasrallah. He's fair game now.

IIRC, the article said there was a temporary morgue nearby.

but I would leave the determination of death to someone with a background in forensics,

Of course. But no one not utterly loyal to Hezb'allah is going to get anywhere near those bodies would be my guess.

But a good forensics guy will be able to tell more than you or I or most reporters from the pics.
